Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium broccoli (550g / 19.5 oz)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup (60g) almond meal/flour
- ¾ packed cup (75g) sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉/190℃ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the florets off the broccoli and break them up into medium pieces; remove the tough outer skin of the stem and cut the stem into pieces around 1-2 cm / ½-¾ inch in size.
- Steam (or boil) the stems for 1 minute, then add the florets and steam for a further 3-4 minutes, until soft. Drain well.
- Chop the cooked broccoli and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add cheese, egg, almond meal, and garlic; mix well to combine and mash any bigger pieces of broccoli.
- Scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a tot. Place on the prepared tray; repeat with the remaining mixture (it should make around 23-25 tots).
- Spray with oil (optional) and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Serve with a dip of choice.
Notes
Drain the broccoli well to avoid a wet mixture. You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or parmesan, or add cooked bacon bits for a meat version.
